 usage: ucfq [options] (/path/to/file|package)[/path/to/file|package  ...]

--help h Print out a usage message.

--debug -d Turn on debugging mode.

--verbose -v Make the script more verbose..

--with-colons -w

Normally, the script presents the information in a human readable tabular format, but that may be harder for a machine to parse. With this option, the output is a compact, colon separated line, with no dividers, headers, or footer.

--state-dr dir

Set the state directory to \*(C`/path/to/dir\*(C' instead of the default \*(C`/var/lib/ucf\*(C'. Used mostly for testing.

This script takes a set of arguments, each of which is a package name (and thus does not contain a /) or a full path to a configuration file, and outputs the associated package, if any, if the file exists on disk, and whether it has been modified by the user. The output is either a human readable tabular form, or a compact colon-separated machine friendly format.

This script can potentially be used in package \*(C`postrm\*(C' scripts during purge to query the system for configuration files that may still exist on the system, and whether these files have been locally modified by the user \*(-- assuming that the package registered all the configuration files with ucf using \*(C`ucfr\*(C'.

This is very inchoate, at the moment, and needs testing.

None Known so far.
